I'm really very sorry to hear this, Tom. My thoughts are with you.
That music is beautiful.

Oh dear... I was unaware of Broadcast. Reminds me a lot of Stereolab. How did I miss this one? I watched both videos and will be searching for more! Great sounds- very psychedelic! I guess there's a lot of music out there and only so much time to listen to it all.
That's way to young. Around my age too. A rather harsh start to the New Year really. Hopefully there wont be too many of these postings this year. What I don't get is why the real talent dies so soon and the irritating morons just keep going on and on... possibly outliving us! Oh well... yeah, I bet the families are devastated. Let's think of them. |

Well spotted. 
Both Stereolab and Broadcast share the same manager- Martin Pike.
My partner Rosie used to front the band, Pram. Rosie and Laetitia (from Stereolab) both worked together on a project called 'Monade'. Broadcast were playing local gigs around Birmingham (mainly in Moseley & Kings Heath). It started off as Broadcast supporting Pram, then one day we invited Pikey up to see this amazing new local band called Broadcast, who used a mixture of electronics and 60's-esque psychedelia (very much like Pram actually), and it kind of took off from there, as Pikey was well impressed- and labels such as Warp and Domino were A&R'ing around the midlands looking for acts to sign. So Pike took Broadcast under his wing, and before long Pram were then supporting Broadcast (Rob Mitchell of Warp was a big Pram fan anyway, and Pram probably would have ended up on Warp too, if it wasn't for me who was already signed to Domino (and 'going out with' Rosie), so Pram were taken by Domino instead- but Pram featured on Warp's 10 years of Warp Records boxset).
Broadcast hid away in the studio then resurfaced 5 years later with the hauntingly beautiful LP, "The Noise the People Made" (where "Echo's Answer" is from).
We're all still in shock from the passing away of Trish. But I suppose there is one last this to leave on which will be nice to remember, and that is where all the rest of us have moved on to "proper jobs" (not saying that being a musician isn't a 'proper job'!), Trish will go down in history as an electrodelic-pop legend, and she will always be remembered as a pop star - to me anyway )
The picture was a picture taken by Dr Allen from a (now cult) book called "We brought our friends" back in the good days when we were all just a bunch of friends making music and going out partying in and around Birmingham. I'm the one the far right (the fat one!). Trish, Jam, Roj, Steve, Tim, Steve, Mike, Mark, Billy, Max, Rosie, Adel (and the rest of Novak whose names currently escape me!), Matt, Nick, Claire, Perry, Steve, Vicky et al..... (Broadcast, Pram, Plone, Novak, Avrocar, Tele:Funken) not in any particular order!

Wow! How interesting! I think I ought to explore this further. I DO like this type of sound. I became aware of Stereolab via Nurse With Wound and the Crumb Duck collaboration Steven Stapleton did with them. I've just been watching a load of Broadcast and Stereolab on youtube since your sad news. It's heartbreaking when friends 'catch the early bus'. I don't think we ever totally get over it... hang in there, time tends to make grief more manageable... sort of.
It doesn't surprise me that you have a connection with this scene. Stereolab were quite Marxist!  Whenever I see your picture on this forum next to your name I picture this cantankerous old Communist going off the deep end at someone... totally pissed off!! [insert Karl Marx smiley here]
Must have been a great time to be around among those friends. I had no idea you were a pop star! ...and you don't look fat to me! |

Well, I wouldn't quite go as far as calling me a 'pop star'!! Probably more "pop tart"!!!

OT
There are a lot of environmentalists who claim to be Marxists. They are not Marxists, they are conservatives. Environmentalism is old style conservatism, where man has no industry (check Jean J Rosseau). The majority of British Socialists who claim to be Marxists are liberals in disguise. Anarchists are supposed to be Marxists, but most anarchists these days (the ones I know anyway) are nothing more than liberal (and sometimes environmentalist) poseurs, who like the anarchist (CNT) and activism label it carries.
The only activism worth perusing today is that of free speech, debate and reasoning. Activists who smash shop windows in are nothing more than liberals in thugs clothing. All they achieve is giving authorities even more excuses to take away our free speech, and our right for debate. I detest this kind of activism.
It's been really interesting following the case of undercover copper Mark Kennedy who infiltratrated several liberal and conservative activist groups in the last decade.
Incidentally, Stereolab are ex-RCP members.

HAHA!!! I do enjoy your speeches! Yes it's... what should I say? 'Interesting'? No, perhaps 'pathetic' is more the word... the 'environmental activism' thing. I live in a region which is the 'hippy' capital of Australia. NOT that I'm a hippy mind you. What really gets up my nose is they are basically rich kids pretending to give a F**K, when they actually are just selfish capitalists like their parents. What with their organic food, holidays to Thailand, slate shower recesses and colonic irrigation... Oh, don't get me started!
Oh, and before I forget, the noise link above! Sounds bloody excellent! Kind of Test Department-ish. Actually has that Flux of Pink Indians sound to it now I think about it.... the album: The Fucking Cunts Treat Us Like Pricks.
Going a bit off topic here aren't I? |
